Ultra Camping Tent

Ms Buck

This is a wonderful tent! I haven't used it outdoors, but I set it up in my classroom for my students. It also provided an opportunity for me to get used to the set up, a win-win. It fit 5 teenage boys in bungee chairs comfortably. I absolutely love the size. It was easy to set up. I have to try it in the rain before camping.

This tent does have a particularly easy set-up. It's spacious inside, measuring about 7.5 feet across from taped seam to taped seam. In a squeeze, you could certainly get four people side-by-side on the floor. For two people, you would have a significant amount of space for cots, gear, etc.There are many windows, providing ample ventilation. I find the zippers to be adequate and not problematic like some have reported.I also like that the floor is sewn into the tent body with taped seams, differentiating it from the Gazelle T4 which has a removable floor and which many people report never being able to get back into factory position.It's definitely NOT waterproof, though. I just got it 2 days ago and I learned that rain was on the forecast so I set it up on the deck before the precipitation began to test it before chancing it "in the field." Rain was steady for a couple of hours, though not intense. In the morning, a check indicated that there was water ingress in all of the corners. Each corner appears to have wet-out when examining them from the outside (see photo) and water was pooled in each of the corners on the inside (see photos.) There was also slight weeping from the seams around the windows with dampness to be found on and around the storage pockets. Knowing this, I wouldn't put electronics in the pockets if I knew it was going to rain. Note, my decking system allows for water to be immediately evacuated through a series of slats so that there is no standing water. My belief is that water ingress would be more pronounced had the tent corners sat in standing water from a rain with limited opportunities for run-off or absorption.So what's the solution? Well, the manufacturer could tape the seams. Barring that, the end user would have to either seam-seal the tent (which could prove challenging in the corners) or rig a tarp (or series of tarps) to ensure rain never gets to the corners.If I merely got a dud and Fanttik wants to send me another to test, I will update this review with more up-to-date information. Otherwise this review represents my best effort to describe the product based on real-life experiences and I hope readers can use the information to make informed choices.
